Sometimes it takes adversity to really learn some of the tough lessons in life.
Head Coach John Harbaugh has, thankfully, not had to deal with a whole lot of extended brutal stretches over his eight-year Ravens coaching career.
Yes, there have been ups and downs along the way. But with six playoff trips in his last seven seasons and one Super Bowl ring on his finger, Harbaugh has enjoyed a whole lot of good days.
He, nor many people around the Under Armour Performance Center, have ever dealt with the kind of season the Ravens are having, mired at 4-9.
